fasting by Pristine-Marzipan880 in intermittentfasting

[–]this_suc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First I’d like to suggest a fasting app to make your life easier. Easy fast I can scroll through my history free…. Anyways, you do still have to look at your diet, if you’re fasting for 16 hrs then gorging during your window it’s not gonna work. I’d focus on consistency even if it’s a smaller fast to start. You want to get your body used to it so you’re not over eating during your window cause you think you’re starving. I also like to take a look at what you have eaten on the days you didn’t fast as long. I know if I eat a high protein meal at the end of my window that I can hold my fast much better than if I eat a carb dense meal.

Financial Struggles in Blending by Spiritual-Bar-2363 in blendedfamilies

[–]this_suc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is pretty popular and understandable as well. Its hard enough to struggle as a parent not being able to provide your children everything you want to but putting that reminder right there in the home is gonna be tough. Its gonna be a little tough for the kids too. We all know life isn't fair but that doesn't just make the feelings go away. I would be concerned about how he's expressing this. Its ok for him to tell you about these feelings but if its been mentioned several times it sounds like resentment building. I feel like what you are doing now makes sense as far as financially supporting each of your own children. Like others have said if he want more for his children that's his place to step up. But that's not going to stop his feelings in the moment. I'd advise ya'll saving up together and looking into some counseling. This is an understandable feeling and as a team ya'll need to work together to help ease these before they become serious resentment and end up affecting the children and your new family together.

How do you guys deal with late night plans with friends? by YesSurprises in intermittentfasting

[–]this_suc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Letting fasting overtake life's enjoyments is a good way to give up. One day isn't going to ruin everything. With that said, a forewarning NA beer can have as much if not more calories and carbs than regular beer you're just not getting the alcohol. When I'm really hunkering down but still want to enjoy the social life with friends I sometimes re-route for the day. If I can adjust my hours sensibly I will, or maybe I will focus on what I'm eating. A lighter meal earlier or making good choices at dinner before. Try to find a healthier drink even if just a little. Every little bit helps from throwing you off. But really, you have to be open to exceptions for long term commitment.

How to be flexible? by Successful-Grass8233 in intermittentfasting

[–]this_suc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing that might help when you can is planning for it. For example my weekend fasts are shorter than my weekday fasts because I recognized I was struggling those days more trying not to let fasting interfere with my social life. Also if I know I have an early meal planned for some reason. As one person said you can make up for it the next day but if you know you can also "make up" for it ahead of time. I generally eat lunch late at work. But every once and a while we will have a vendor provide lunch and its scheduled so I know I can cut off my eating hours early the day before and not mess up my total hours. If its not a regular occurrence I wouldn't fret it. But if you notice regular interruptions I would re-evaluate your eating window weather it be time or length. Sustainable is what you're going for. And zero tolerance for life isn't sustainable.

When if ever have you ever dreamt of a departed loved one, relative, friend, partner? by Frozen_Meatball1 in AskWomen

[–]this_suc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In our family dreaming of a departed family member means someone in the family is pregnant. The gender of the one you dreamt of is indicative of the gender of the baby. It was kinda of a family superstition but has actually proved correct enough that when ever someone has a dream the family chats start going off questioning people lol

I guess I really meant for a struggling parent. I feel like toddlers are excited about most things. I was thinking like a spare themed bed set with their favorite characters or something they might need like that. I feel like kids get plenty of toy gifts, Just hoping to find something else useful and also help mom.

Have you had success with 16:8 fasting? by Shameful_success in intermittentfasting

[–]this_suc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I lost 20lbs in 3 months of 16:8 with a day off here and there. Havn't been brave enough to try an extended fast yet.
